The Epidemic Risk Solutions (ERS) unit develops new risk transfer solutions for epidemic and pandemic risks for the private and public sector. Epidemic outbreaks of infectious diseases can impact companies, the economy and insurers’ portfolios severely as the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated once again. By better understanding and evaluating epidemic risk exposure we work on establishing a new insurance market segment. Munich Re's ERS team consists of experts from various fields (e.g. pricing, underwriting and epidemiology) and provides an one-stop shop for companies aiming at protecting themselves against the adverse effects of an epidemic outbreak or pandemic.
Your placement will be for up to 6 months (full time) starting in November 2025 (part-time contracts and shorter/later placements are possible).

• Support project management and coordinate across business units, cooperation partners and clients.
• Perform analyses of markets, companies and key performance indicators (e.g., reviewing annual reports).
• Provide economic expertise for developing insurance solutions for private and public sector transactions.
• Analyse on-going and past outbreaks and their characteristics as well as their impact on society and economy.

Your Profile
• Advanced Bachelor’s or ongoing Master's studies in economics, risk management, business administration or related subjects, ideally with a focus on (re)insurance.
• Willingness to delve into epidemiological and (re)insurance topics.
• Professional working experience e.g. in the fields of business development, project management, epidemiology or insurance would be appreciated but is not necessary.
• An affinity to and experience with (statistical) data analysis would be appreciated but is not necessary.
• Structured and organized approach towards work with strong attention to detail.
